scholarly journals An Efficient Technique for Scene Text Extraction from Videos

Text Detection from natural scene images and videos is imperative for applications in real world domain analysis. However the text detection process isperplexingbecause of exigent scenarios that the text exhibit. The information present in the video is either perceptual or it is either in semantic form. Amongst the different content that exists in the video, the text information is a major important content that describes more about the nature of the video. The text present in the video can be categorized into Caption text and Scene text. The caption text is the artificial text that is easy to detect while scene text are natural text which is difficult to identify. In this paper text extraction in natural images by edge based method is implemented. The algorithms are estimated with a set of images of natural scenes that differ alongside the scope of font size, illumination, scale and text direction. Precision, accuracy and recall rates are determined to evaluate the performance. The proposed system worked for all difficult scenarios of varied text and gave better results than the existing methods.

Text detection in natural scene images is an interesting problem in the field of information retrieval. Several methods have been proposed over the past few decades for scene text detection. However, the robustness and efficiency of these methods are downgraded due to high sensitivity towards various complexities of an image. Also, in multi-lingual environment where texts may occur in multiple languages, a method may not be suitable for detecting scene texts in certain languages. To counter these challenges, a gradient morphology-based method is proposed in this paper that proves to be robust against image complexities and efficiently detects scene texts irrespective of their languages. The method is validated using low quality images from standard multi-lingual datasets like MSRA-TD500 and MLe2e. The performance of the method is compared with that of some state-of-the-art methods, and comparably better results are observed.

Natural scene text is broadly observed in our everyday life and has countless imperative multimedia applications. Natural scene text typically show signs of outsized discrepancy in font and languages but endures from low resolution, occlusions and intricate background. An android based application Smart Eye which works in offline mode is proposed here for text detection which robustly perceives the text in natural images in real time and translates the text present in image to speech which can assist people with vision disability. The spoken is also converted to text which can aid people with hearing disability.
